Special Events

Throughout the year, Estes Park celebrates life in the Colorado Rockies with special events that highlight the sights, sounds and heritage of the community. Rubber duck races and free jazz concerts, fine art exhibitions and a classic car show, fill spring. Festivities steeped in Western culture and patriotic Americana fill the summer's calendar, as well as free concerts in a variety of venues and genres. With the changing leaves come arts and crafts shows, wildlife celebrations and more. Soon after, the holidays set the valley aglow with family-friendly events that light up the days and nights. Not to be forgotten, winter bustles with festivals and other cultural events that honor the region's culinary, musical and historic roots.
